Useful Fb tricks for Enhanced Facebook experience:

1. Appear Online Only to Selected Friends:

Facebook chat is one of the coolest and most useful features in FB. My dilemma, however, was how to limit the number of people I chat with every time I log in. I certainly can’t accommodate them all but I don’t want them to feel like I’m rejecting them when I don’t send them a reply. I didn’t know back then that it is possible to appear online only to a few selected friends. A friend of mine actually gave me this idea which I’m sure would be of use to you, too.

Here’s how to do it:

Go to Chat found at the lower right side of the page and then, click on gear icon and click on advanced settings. A window would pop-up, now in the field which says “Turn on chat for all friends, except..” start adding your friends name, for whom you don’t want to appear online. With this, you now appear completely invisible to them. Try it now.

2. Turn off Auto-play of Facebook Videos:

Facebook auto plays videos when ever you are checking the timeline. If you wish to disable the auto-play of videos, you can do that by following these steps.

Go to Facebook Settings > Videos

Turn off the auto play of Facebook videos.

And if you are from a country with slow internet speed, you can also change the default quality to SD from HD.

3. Cool Magic Circles on Facebook:

This is really simple, though I admit I didn’t get this the first time. This cool magic circles appearing on your page is just one of the many secret tricks you’ll find in Facebook. You might want to give this a try.

Now, just in case it doesn’t work on your first try, try reloading your page again by pressing F5 and repeat the process.

I find this application to be useful in sharing and organizing photos of various events like reunions and parties. It has plenty of exciting features; one of them is the ability to upload photos directly to your FB account. Here’s what you need to do to download and install latest version of Picasa.

That’s it. You may now start uploading and sharing your photos using Picasa.

This is a powerful tool that can help you find your old friends, celebrities, organizations, or your favorite band with no difficulty. Go ahead and be like a pro – click here to learn how.
